Leg Weakness and Falling? | Arthritis Information

Does anybody get leg weakness and falling with PMR?
Twice in one week I've either gone down, or almost did.

Each time it was getting out of bed after resting.

Just wondering.

~KewaneeKewanee,
  I too have leg weakness, but never to the point of falling, and as I recall that is where my pmr started, aching and weakness in my legs and feet, that was going on five years now. Be careful, thats the last thing you want to do is fall and break something.  Does the pred. help the weakness at all?   is it only after resting for a long time? Hope you feel better.  Georgiana
Hi Georgiana,
Be careful when you feel weakness because it may lead to a unexpected fall.

It comes as a complete surprise. Do you get any cramping in the calves?

Pred. does not help at all.
